Widespread Panic Performs 'Mountain Jam' at Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas

Venue: The Cockpit Location: Lexington, Virginia, United States Date: April 27, 1988

Widespread Panic has a rich history steeped in live performance, making their recordings a treasure chest for fans. Before the live recording of "The Last Straw-Mountain Jam" in Las Vegas on July 10, 2016, the band had released several albums, with "Street Dogs" coming out in 2007, and the studio album "Dirty Side Down" hitting the shelves in 2010. Fast forward to 2016, and the band had firmly established itself as a leader in the jam band scene, known for their improvisational prowess and electric live shows. The nod to “Mountain Jam” in 2016 was particularly notable, as it marked a thrilling return to a song that hadn’t been played since 1988—an impressive 2,744 shows prior. This kind of deep-cut encore showcases not only their dedication to crafting unique live experiences but also their appreciation for classic rock influences like the Allman Brothers Band. It's the kind of moment that makes a live show an unforgettable experience for both the band and their fans.
